that is true or not. unders and from
the little study which l have given this
question that there is right way aud
wrong one for putting fruit into and
taking it from the cold storage. Ii you
take the fruit from the room where 1t
has been kept for weeks at the same
temperature, and have the temperature
of the room so raised that it will approx
innate the temperature gradually OF the
cold storage it will not decay. saw
this fruit taken out two weeks ago last
Monday, and it was in perfect state OF
preservation, and the fruit after being
taken out did not sweat. The paper in
which the fruit was wrapped was so dry
that it would crackle beneath your
fingers. Not single orange or lemon
in those boxes was decayed in the least.
1t was re.packed in my presence and on
Monday it was placed on exhibition
here. The fruit did stand up after being
open two weeks, and as you see now is
in good condition, and I Judge that it
will keep for weeks yet. l do not see
why this proposition in regard to fruit
that is placed in cold storage is not true;
that the life of the fruit which has been
taken from cold storage is not Just as
long as the life of the fruit would have
been before being placed in the cold stor-
age. These are questions to be proved,
but it looks to me as though we were
proving them. Experiments made by
this company in sending their fruits to
Chicago and New York last fall prove
this question. The testimony received
of scores of people back East. who have
used the fruit which has been sent back
there after being taken out of cold stor-
age for days aud weeks, is evidence upon
this point, and believe that this cold
storage question is going to solve the
great question here, so far as the proht-
able culture of fruit is concerned. In
Southern California as we'll as Northern
California and the whole Pacific Coast
In Northern California you have cherries
and other fruit which we do not raise.
Under the old system, if apricots were
sent to Chicago they had to be picked
green. Under the cold storage system
| can see no reason why they should not
be allowed to ripen on the tree and put
into the cold storage before being sent to
the market in Chicago in just as good
condition as when they left Southern
California.
A committee of five was then appoint.
ed to examine the process of cold storage
and the effect on fruit treated by that
process. The committee consisted of L.
M. Holt, N. w. Blanchard, j. s. Will
COX, DR.. o. P. Chubb and w. B. Ever.
This committee made careful exam-
ination of the establishment and the pro.
cess, the fruit in all stages of curing, and
saw more than dozen certificates from
Eastern dealers and transportation men
in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, st.
Louis, Cincinnati and Chicago, certifying
to the perfect condition of cold storage
fruit at destination and after its arrival
at destination, showing that it did not
decay after arrival, but maintained its
integrity till all was sold and used.
Want Of rpace forbids the committees s
report in this issue. The report was
unanimously In favor Of the cold storage.
